Robe Yourself with Love, Peace, and Freedom
©August 5th 2021, Olan L. Smith
I hunger to say this to all who read me, love.
I need to say this to all my friends, peace.
I want to say this to everyone, desire freedom.
They are the only garments worth our endeavors
Upon this watery globe of the transitory.
I wish I could say more about merit,
I wish I could say more about love,
But it is a personal journey,
We must all strive for our own path.
The bridge from this life to forever
Has its own harmonics for each
Spirit who pays the dryad passage.
Each must sync with its harmony for passage
Or permit their dissonance to sink the ferry.
Be true with the world, show your green card.
